“…CFD wind flow modeling is widely used to simulate wind flow caused by the local terrain characteristics and topography and is quite helpful for developing wind energy in complex terrains [11,19]. The main inputs in CFD wind flow modeling consist of boundary conditions, i.e., terrain feature (Digital Elevation Model (DEM)) and roughness, as well as initial conditions, i.e., wind climatology in the form of wind speeds and directions at typical points of measurement in the study area.…”

This research aims to assess the environmental feasibility of a wind power plant by investigating its noise disturbances, shadow flicker, and zones of visual influence. The model is applied as a case study for a 50 MW wind power plant, located in the Nakhon Ratchasima province of northeastern Thailand. The acoustic noise emissions were analyzed using the sound propagation and absorption models under the wind conditions on the site studied. The shadow flicker around each wind turbine generator, in terms of the number of hours per year, was also simulated along with the analysis of the zones of visual influence according to the number of wind turbines that can be seen by an observer from a certain distance. The results show a maximum sound level of 47 dBA, within the allowed limits of the 50 dBA legislation of the Department of Pollution Control of the Royal Thai Government. Similarly, the shadow flicker within 1 km of the wind turbines is 10 hours/year, well below the international standard of 30 hours/year. Results of the zones of visual influence indicate that between 15 and 20 turbines are visible from observation points surrounding the potential wind power plant. The results applied to this case study suggest that the potential wind power plant is well-suited regarding its environmental impacts and should typically not incur negative impacts for the local communities. Studies like these are vital to gaining the trust of the communities living near wind power plants to address their concerns and minimize opposition.

“…The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand is the agency responsible for procuring electricity generated from ET and providing FIT payments to ET electricity producers under the SPP scheme (10-90 MW). For very small power producers (for a capacity of less than 10 MW), electricity generated from NRE must be purchased by the Metropolitan Electricity Authority [42][43][44].…”

The transition from conventional fossil fuels to renewable energy is necessary, along with the increase in energy consumption and the decline in national energy production. In its application, increasing the renewable energy mix has many challenges, especially cost-efficiency. Thus, to make renewable energy competitive and achieve a significant acceleration of the mix, massive energy incentive policies are being studied and developed. This study provided a specific overview of policies and strategies for tariff incentives related to renewable energy, particularly in developing and developed countries. An essential section of this study discusses the comparison between Indonesia and other countries, as well as the current status and an ideal policy related to renewable energy for this country. The implementation of energy incentive policies in each country is quite different, depending on the potential, technological readiness, and political and economic conditions. Compared with other policy mechanisms such as RPS, FIT policies are more efficient at increasing capacity and stimulating R&D inputs to reduce costs. In terms of the stage of economic development and characteristics of the electricity system, the price adjustment model, such as that used in East Asia, is more suitable for application in Indonesia than other models.

“…Wind energy is a promising renewable energy source abundant in resources. In recent years, Thailand has seen significant growth in the installation of new wind turbines, aimed at reducing reliance on conventional energy sources [ 1 , 2 ]. According to the Alternative Energy Development Plan (AEDP), the rapid growth in wind turbine installations is projected to reach 3002 MW as Thailand possesses excellent wind energy potential and other renewable energy sources.…”
